Lawrence, Chris

Chris Lawrence and Marek Bartanus were both injury scratches tonight as Owen Sound took on Mississauga.

Vladmimir Mihalik was an injury scratch for Prince George against Lethbridge.

Dane Crowley did not dress for Swift Current's matchup with Regina.

The Mississauga News is reporting Chris Lawrence was held out of last night's Ice Dogs game as a precautionary measure. He has a minor head injury. No further information was given.

According to the Owen Sound Sun-Times, Marek Bartanus was held out of the Attack's game last night due to an "undisclosed injury."

Bartanus has drawn rave reviews for his play so far for the 7-1-0-1 Attack. He is playing on a second line that's making life hard for the opposition.

The Sun-Times states the key to the unit may be Bartanus' improved play.

Bizarre...

Marek Bartanus did not play in Owen Sound's 3-2 win over Brampton.

Chris Lawrence did not play in Mississauga's 3-2 shootout loss to Belleville.

Kevin Beech allowed 3 goals on 24 shots faced in a 3-1 loss to Barrie.

Here is a summary of today's eight selections in the 2005 Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning:

One pick NHL.com apparently missed was the 3rd round selection of C Chris Lawrence out of Sault Ste Marie of the OHL. At 6'4" 199 lbs. Lawrence is a riddle wrapped inside a mystery wrapped inside of an enigma. Even the misreporting of his selection on the NHL and Tampabaylightning.com site should tell you how much of a question mark this player is.
